Description: ACTIVE SUBSTANCE DELIVERY SYSTEM The present invention relates to compositions comprising a compound containing a nitrogen linked by an ester bond to an active substance radical. Said compositions show an excellent deposition of the active substance radical to a surface followed by delayed release of an active substance to the surface. It is well known that by using active substances such as alcohols and/or acids often the substances show a difficult controllable activity due to their inherent characteristics. Although the present invention is not limited to fabric softener compositions, but for instance when using fabric softener compositions, one provides the usual compositions with additional perfumes, antiperspirant compounds etc. in order to obtain the desired result after the rinse cycle of laundry washing processes. In recent years, the need has arisen for more environmentally-friendly materials, and rapidly biodegradable quaternary ammonium compounds have been presented as alternatives to the traditionally used di-long chain ammonium chlorides. Such quaternary ammonium compounds contain long chain alk(en)yl groups interrupted by functional groups such as carboxy groups. Said materials and fabric softening compositions containing them are disclosed in numerous publications such as EPA 0 040 562, and EPA 239 910; In EPA 239 910, it has been disclosed that a pH range of from 2.5 to 4.2 provides optimum storage stability to said rapidly biodegradable ammonium compounds. A disadvantage of above system is the difficulty to control the activity of the active substances such as for instance the perfumes and antiperspirants in the respective softener composition. Active substances have a poor affinity for surfaces. Once on a surface they are removed due to their water solubility or high volatility and might sometimes lose all of their activity. In EP 56152 is described a process for the simultaneous softening and antimicrobial finishing of washed laundry in an aqueous liquor containing fabric-softener quaternary ammonium compounds and antimicrobially active substances by allowing the liquor to act on items of laundry, separating off the liquor from the items of laundry and drying the laundry. The items of laundry are moved around in a liquor which, in addition to at least one standard fabric-softening quaternary compound, contains at least one azole compound as the antimicrobially active substance. However in this system as described in EP 56152 the activity of the active substance is difficult to control in order to obtain the best desirable results in terms of for instance malodour prevention. A solution to above-mentioned problem is that the present invention allows to formulate a composition, and in a preferred embodiment a fabric softener composition, wherein the basic principle is to link an active substance such as an alcohol or an acid to a nitrogen via an ester bond. Active substances which in themselves are not surface substantive are by using the present invention efficiently deposited on the surface. Probably as a consequence of the weak ester linkage the release of the active substance is induced for instance by a hydrolysis process. When the surface is a fabric this development allows surprisingly effective deposition and retention of active substances on fabrics, followed by a slow release of the active substance over time. The active substance might be an acid or an alcohol. The active is bound via an ester linkage to an alcohol or acid function in the central part of a compound according to the invention wherein the compound has the structural formula: or an amine precursor thereof wherein : R_ is Q'-T 1 or Q'-T 2 or T 2 or RQ _ R2 is Q"-T- or Q"-T 3 or T 3 or R 6/ 0 I I Q is - R4 - C - 0 -, or - .R - 0 C - 0 0 or - R4 C - R5 - C - 0 -, Q' and Q" are defined as Q wherein R 4 is R 1 or R " and R5 is R51 or R511 respectively R 3 and Rg are the same or different C1-C4 alkyl or C1-C hydroxyalkyl or H R4, R 1 and R4'' and R5 R5» and R5» are any (un) substituted acyclic or any (un) substituted mono or poly (hetero)cyclic organic group, T 1 is an active substance radical, T 2 and T 3 are (the same or different) C5-C30 alkyl or alkenyl or aryl, X ~ is a compatible anion. T 1 is defined as an active substance radical. With "active substance radical" is meant that part of the compound which, for instance, upon hydrolysis generates the active substance. If the active substance is an alcohol then the alcohol active might first be reacted with a diacid (or diacid anhydride) to form an acid ester. This product is then linked via the free acid function to the free alcohol function in the central part of the compound according to the invention. Alternatively, the alcohol active is linked directly to a free acid function in the central part of the compound. The central part in the molecule can be any ethoxylated amine (e.g. triethanolamine, methyldiethanolamine and the like) or it could be a more complex hydroxyfunctionalized amine or quat or a (poly)carboxyfunctionalized amine or quat. The active substance might be any acid or alcohol one wants to deposit on fabrics. Depending on the application, one can use a monoester, a mixed ester with fatty acid or a polyester of the active substance with the central part of the compound This system might also be used to deposit an active substance on another substrate than fabrics, e.g. skin, hair or any other surface that one wants to treat. One application is in perfume delivery in a fabric softener context. This technology allows very efficient deposition of a perfume ingredient followed by slow release upon hydrolysis of the ester bond linking the active substance to the central part of the molecule. Other potential applications in a fabric softener matrix are biocide delivery (malodour prevention) , antiperspirant delivery (in wear malodour prevention) and iron-aid delivery. This delivery system might depending on the choice of the active substance also find an application outside a fabric softener context: e.g. perfume delivery in a detergent, antiperspirant delivery in a cosmetic product for instance in a deodorant, moldicide delivery in an anti-dandruff shampoo, top note delivery during ironing by release of the volatile top notes during ironing by humidity and/or heat induced hydrolysis, in an ironing-aid, pesticide, or insecticide/ insect repellent delivery in a pesticide or corrosion inhibition delivery in a hard surface cleaner.

The Finished Product contains 0.19% of isovaleric acid chemically bound to the quaternary ammonium compound. 3.c) Product application 2.1 kg of fabrics (60% pure cotton, 40% mixed polyester/cotton) were washed in a AEG δko-lavamat 579 at 60°C (mainwash only) using 180 gr of regular Belgium Ariel detergent. The load contained 12 terry (cotton) tracers of 30 gr each. 3.C.1 Reference treatment A reference dispersion was prepared according to the procedure described under l.b, using 70 gr of standard quaternary ammonium compound (i.e. quaternary ammonium compound synthesized as described in l.a, without addition of isovaleric acid and using 2 moles of stearic acid) to which 2.73% of isovaleric acid was admixed. This reference dispersion thus contains 0.19% of free isovaleric acid. 3.c.l.a (Free active, no extra rinse) 110 gr of this reference dispersion was added to the last rinse of the washing machine and 6 of the 12 tracers were removed after the machine had stopped the rinse cycle. 3_c.l_b (Free active, extra rinse) After the removal of the first 6 tracers, the remaining load was subjected to an extra rinse cycle in the same washing machine. The remaining 6 tracers were removed after the machine had stopped the rinse cycle. 3.c.2) Test treatment 3_c.2_a (EQDS, no extra rinse) 110 gr of the dispersion described under l.b was added to the last rinse of the washing machine and 6 of the 12 tracers were removed after the machine had stopped the rinse cycle. 3.c.2.b (EQDS, extra rinse) After the removal of the first 6 tracers, the remaining load was subjected to an extra rinse cycle in the same washing machine. The remaining 6 tracers were removed after the machine had stopped the rinse cycle. 3.d) Fabric grading 3.d.l) Tracer storage The tracers were graded as they were removed from the washing machine (damp) . The fabrics were then line dried at ambient temperature and again graded the following day (1 day dry) . The tracers were then packed in aluminium foil and stored on a lab bench at ambient temperature. The judges reevaluated after 1 week and 2 weeks storage. 3.d.2) Grading procedure The tracers were compared in pairs (free, no extra rinse vs EQDS, no extra rinse; free, extra rinse vs EQDS, extra rinse) . The pairs were graded blindly by 4 judges. The tracers were presented to the judges in alternating order. The judges used the following scale: 0: There is no difference 1: I think one smells stronger 2: I know one smells stronger 3: I know one smells much stronger 4: One smells a whole lot stronger. The test supervisor gave a positive sign to the grade when the EQDS treatment scored stronger, a negative sign when the reference treatment scored stronger. The average of the different gradings is reported. 3.d.3) Results 3.d.3.a) No extra rinse EQDS vs free isovaleric acid, + indicates stronger smell for EQDS, 0-4 scale.
